Specification

Mounted to the sub-frame, the hydraulically operated sweeping system is designed to prolong the life of the brush and reduces the cost of ownership. Both channel and wide-sweep brush installations feature quick-change mechanisms which reduce downtime between changeovers. With a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless steel body, a hopper capacity of 8mAcircsup3 the Johnston VS801 is robust and built for unrivalled durability.

All sweeping operations are controlled from in-cab controls and critical systems controls – including the master circuit breaker plus the valves and auxiliary equipment for the pneumatic, hydraulic and water systems – are housed in an easily accessible purpose-built, dust and weatherproof locker. The VS801, in common with all V Range products, comes with waterproof IP67 automotive electrical connectors to enhance reliability.

Through experience in hopper design, Johnston have developed a unique system which creates a cyclone effect within the hopper for efficient filtering of debris and dust particles prior to discharge to atmosphere through mesh filter screens. This unique design is a now a standard feature of all Johnston V Range sweepers. The rear discharge chute directs loads away from the rear of the vehicle, minimising the risk of damage to lamps and other components. The standard load de-watering system allows draining of water from the waste volume.

For larger vehicles the electric option isn’t viable as batteries would have to be enormous, so Johnston has worked closely with Iveco to develop our brand new CNG-powered VS651 CNG hydrostatic truck sweeper, mounted on a 16T Iveco chassis and driven by a single 210Hp engine.
